what are blood muffins? sound lovely (i think!) LOL re the biltong, maybe i could get dd some pigs ears from the pet shop to chew on (just teasing), the looks would have been a whole lot worse if he were eating, heaven forbid a sausage roll or a ginger bread man!

[DeJager]

a bit off topic,
yesterday my 7 month old was eating some biltong on his way home, in his buggy and the looks I was getting, I kept having to stop and look in on him, because some people gave him a look and them me and it made me worry...lol...but when I looked, he was happy as anything, chewing away on a soggy stick of dried meat.
I know, it's gross to some people, but it works a treat for those little teeth.

Anyway, we grew up that way...don't know any better remedy than a good stick of biltong!! LOL

Just put some of your muffins in the oven MamaG! Hope they turn out ok!

[MamaG]

Can't promise lack of blood though

[Backtobasics]

I think it's breakfast round MamaGs house tommorrow morning, anyone with me?

[MamaG]

They sound nice soupdragon, my DC would love htem. I decided not to let on that there was blood in the muffins to DH

Dabbles- yes

SChneebly - thats a bit of a trek for you! Call at KEndal on the way and I'll take you out for lunch

You can make blood-free blood muffins by half filling the muffin case with mixture, adding a dollop of strawberry jam and then filling with more muffin mixture.

[americantrish]

nope, not unreasonable at all

[TootyFrooty]

Made them this morning (without the blood). Blardy delicious.

Thanks!

[MamaG]

Plain flour bump

[Dabbles]

omg! lol , this happened to me this mornign! I was making banana and choc muffins from a previous thread on quick recipes, and cut my finger on th echocolate (have huge plaster as prof) luckily my muffins escaped unharmed,

but it isnt it (somewhat sad in a housewifey unfeminist way) very satisfying to make muffins for kids and dp for brekkie!! (have never done this beofore! but loved it! )

[schneebly]

glad you are feeling better my dear! I am heading down to southport next wednesday - dh has an interview there.

[TootyFrooty]

Yum. Going to make these right now. No doubt my "little helpers" will want to get involved so I may be some time.....

[bumperlicious]

[snowleopard]

Blood muffins - that justy sounds brilliant - so mafioso - has to feature in the title of a film by Guy Ritchie sometime soon...
